Spring falls

Chapter 9

Tears brimmed Freya's cerulean eyes as Scott let go of her cheek, and left the room swiftly shutting the door behind him, leaving Freya all alone with her thoughts, Freya looked up towards the ceiling, tears streamed down like a waterfall. Hope seemingly drained from her once cerulean eyes to a dull azure, a soft knock was heard at the door. Freya turned her gaze to a small petite servant girl, dressed in a neat white dress with an Edwardian servant cap.

"Sorry to disturb you Mrs. Hyped but I have a fresh set of clothes you are expected to wear for tonight's dinner party." Announced the servant.

She had a set of clothes neatly folded in her arms with a small pair of black kitten heels placed on top. She placed the clothes next to Freya and left the room. Freya looked towards the clothes and gritted her teeth.

"I'm going to get out of here if it's the last thing I do."

Flames danced and crackled on the campfire as the clouds cried rain from above. Elora's hideout was a small cave not far from the town, the cave was decorated by miss and crumpled dead leaves. Elora looked at the box that stayed snug between her arms, she gently placed the beside her and reached into a bag on the floor and pulled out a journal, a quill and a small jar of ink. Upon opening the journal Elora took out an unfinished map of spring falls and started to complete it.

Loud footsteps could be heard outside which sent Elora in a panic and stomped out her fire and hid in the far end of the cave, with a dagger clutched in her right hand.

"Aye yo, Elora! Chill dude it's just me and Francis." Beamed a loud voice.

Elora took a deep sigh of relief and picked up the bag and stuffed the box and journal inside, there stood two men; one had medium-long locks of ash-blonde hair, fair skin, piercing blue eyes. He was wearing a pure white shirt with a black vest over the top with black trousers and flats. The other guy next to him was wearing a plain grey t-shirt and black trousers with grey trainers. He had short brown hair with an annoying cowlick, and baby blue eyes with black glasses.

"Where have you been mom amour, Coraline sent you to scout the area more than two weeks ago! We thought you were killed!" Cried the blonde.

"Relax frenchie, she's fine. But seriously though what happened, all you had to do was scout the area did you get caught or something?" Questioned the brunette.
